Child with possible dyspraxia

I have been told that my daughter possibly has dyspraxia, we have seen an occupational therapist who wants to see her again to do some testing, does anyone have any idea what this involves? What are the next steps after this? It was noted that my daughter verbally is quite bright and feels that this may have masked all the other signs or her verbal skills are compensating for areas she isn't very good at. Quite new to this whole thing and am feeling a little overwhelmed as well as relieved that she is being taken seriously

DD2's just been assessed and diagnosed (she's only young - age 5) - was basically one OT going through our questionnaire and it felt a bit like picking our parenting to shreds to be honest, while another got her to do things like making sausages out of playdough, cutting them up, pulling beads out of a pot of theraputty and then some balancing, kicking a ball etc.
